Getting in front of a customer is expensive
and hard to do. The ProVu Demonstrator
helps you make the most of this precious
time. The ProVu Demonstrator allows you
to quickly demonstrate Precision Digital’s
PD6000 & PD6200 ProVu meters and
one of your transmitters or calibrators. The
Demonstrator makes it easier to demo
your transmitter because it can provide the
necessary power.

The ProVu Demo can also be used as a

stand-alone demo to make the last ve

minutes of your sales call more productive.
When you are done with the primary focus
of the call, take ve minutes for the ProVu
Demo. All you have to do is plug it in and
adjust the potentiometer that simulates a
voltage input (PV). You can use the built-in
LEDs to demonstrate the ProVu’s alarm and
control capabilities.

The

ProVu Demonstrator will serve to demonstrate both the PD6000 and the PD6200. The
actual product installed in the demonstrator is a PD6200 with the factory default settings
changed to make it function as a PD6000. However, when total is turned on in the system
menu, the unit will function as a PD6200. To prepare the meter for demonstration, reset the
meter to it’s factory default settings by following the instructions below.

Preparing the Meter for Demonstration

Press and
hold for

ve seconds

to enter the
Advanced Features Menu.

Press

until

the diAG (diag­nostics) menu
is displayed.

Press and hold

until the

meter ashes

rESEt (reset).

Immediately press to reset the meter to
factory defaults.

The meter will

ash all of the

LED segments
and then dis­play dEnmo ProcES (Demo Process). The
meter has been reset to its defaults.

About the Factory Default Settings

The factory defaults congure the meter to have an input display range of 0 to 8000 with

a corresponding 0 to 10 V input from the slider. The secondary display is programmed to
display GAL (gallons). The Total and Dual Scale features are turned off.

Relays 1 and 2 are congured as alarms. Relay 1 is a low alarm with a set point of 495 and
reset point of 750. Relay 2 is a high alarm with a set point of 7500 and reset point of 6900.

Relays 3 and 4 are congured for pump alternation control. The relays alternate being on

at a set point of 6000 and reset point of 1000. Both relays will turn on at a set point of 7000,
and both off at 1000.

The alarm indicators on the meter; and the relay indicators on the demonstrator will indicate
the relay states.

Voltage Simulator (PV)

The slide control on the right side of the demonstrator serves as the 0-10 V signal simula­tor. The input signal increases as the slider is moved upward, and decreases when slider is
moved downward.

Micro USB Connection

The PDD6000 Demonstrator includes a micro USB connector to demonstrate programming
from a PC. MeterView Pro software is included onboard and will install automatically when
the unit is plugged into a computer.

Demonstrating the PD6000 Process Meter

The ProVu Demo comes programmed with factory defaults that make it ready to demon­strate the features of the PD6000 immediately, with no additional programming required.
The following steps describe how to demonstrate the relay alarm and pump alternation
features of the meter using the factory default settings.

Use the 0 to
10 V simulator
to adjust the
display reading
so the meter reads around 1500 gallons.
All relay lights should be off.

Raise the slide
wire until the
meter reads
around 6200
gallons. Relay number three will come on.
Notice the relay light in the above graphic.

Lower the slide
wire until the
meter reads
around 950 gal­lons. Relay number three should turn off.

Raise the slide
wire until the
meter reads
around 6200
gallons. Relay number four will come on. This
demonstrates the pump alternation feature.

Lower the slide
wire until the
meter reads

around 950

gallons. Relay number four should turn off.
Do this a couple times so the customer can
see the pump alternation workings, and get
their head around the concept. Discuss the
advantages of this feature.

Now, raise
the slide wire
until the meter
reads around
7100 gallons. Relays number three and four
should be on, indicating both pumps on.

Keep raising
the slide wire
until the meter
reads around
7600 gallons. Relay number two will come
on, indicating the high level alarm.

Now lower the
slide wire. At

around 900

gallons, relays
number four, three, and two will turn off
indicating the high alarm has cleared and
the two pumps have been shut off. Keep
lowering the slide wire until the meter reads
around 450 gallons. Relay number one will
come on, indicating the low level alarm.

Note: The

ProVu can be congured to

control up to 8 pumps. Please
refer to the section in the PD6000
Instruction Manual entitled Pump Al-
ternation Control Applications found
under Relay Operation Details.

then press .

Press to
return to Run
Mode. Increase
the input signal
using the Voltage Simulator to a value
above the relay 2 alarm set point of 7500,
and then reduce it to below 1000. The relay
will remain on, or latched. However, if you
press

, it will unlatch the relay. Experi­ment with other relay functions following
the instructions in the PD6000 instruction
manual under the section entitled "Setting
the Relay Operation".

Note: The F3 button is programmed to function
